⚠️JUST IN: Authorities have dismantled a Polish sim-swap group, 4 threat actors including "Merry" arrested

Polish CBZC officers, with support from the FBI and HSI (Homeland Security Investigations), have arrested four members of a international criminal group behind large-scale SIM-swap attacks, cryptocurrency theft and money laundering totalling tens of millions of zlotys. Among those detained is a significant figure known as "Merry" (Wojtek), believed to be a key member of the ring. All four are now in pretrial detention.

The group used social engineering and specialised software to hijack phone numbers and seize crypto exchange accounts. Stolen funds were laundered through international bank accounts and digital wallets. Charges carry sentences of up to 25 years.
